The Best Mediterranean Dip

IMG_0514.jpg

Y’all…this is it. The BEST dip for pita chips, pretzels and veggies — perfect for a holiday appetizer, lazy lunch or a romantic picnic! I originally saw this on Emma Kelley from With A City Dream’s Instagram story, but because I am picky I had to modify it a little bit. That’s the best part about this recipe — it is so flexible. Don’t like bell peppers? Don’t add them! Want to throw in olives? Go for it. I’m going to add in grilled chicken for a more filling lunch next time and I am positive it is going to be so good.

The ingredients below are what we like best, but I think chickpeas, grape tomatoes and celery could also be really good!

INGREDIENTS:

  • Hummus

  • Marzetti Dill Dip (or tzatziki — our grocery store was out the first time I made this so we used dill dip…not as healthy I’m sure but we prefer it over tzatziki)

  • Cucumbers

  • Red Onion

  • Bell Peppers

  • Carots

  • Feta Cheese

  • Honey

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Grab a refrigerator-safe dish with a lid to start. I typically use a small tupperware if it’s just for P and me or a small casserole dish if we are taking it as an appetizer.

  • Spread a base layer of hummus, then add a thin layer of dill dip. These layers should cover the bottom of your dish completely.

  • Chop up your vegetables and sprinkle them on top of the dill dip. Eyeball the amount — I like to make sure the dip is almost fully covered with all of the veggies, but never measure out a specific amount. I usually do about 1 cup of each, 1/4-1/2 cup onion and a 1.5 cups of cucumbers.

  • Sprinkle a thin layer of feta cheese on top. I crumble with my hands as I go…you don’t want it too chunky!

  • Drizzle honey on top. I was skeptical but it is so good and really pulls the flavors together!

  • Dip pita chips, pretzels or veggies and enjoy!
